Panasonic Evolta: World's Longest Lasting Alkaline Battery

Evolta outlasts Duracell, Energizer, and even its own premium Oxyride brand by nearly 20 percent and offers a 10 year shelf life.

Conventional batteries may be over the hill comparing to innovative newbies like Moixa's USBCELL. But with its Evolta cell, Panasonic set out to prove that alkaline batteries still have some green left in them.

According to Ecofriend, Panasonic has recently "entered its name in the Guinness World Records for creating the world's longest lasting alkaline battery." It turns out that Evolta outlasts Duracell, Energizer and even its own premium Oxyride brand by nearly 20 percent and offers a 10 year shelf life. Not bad for an old dog!

The report also points out that the record setting Evolta will go on sale in Japan in April, with each 4-pack costing 590 yen or $6.30.
